Taylor Swift just completed the top grossing US tour by a female singer of all time, breaking her old all time record by millions...I wouldn’t be tossing flowers in her grave just yet.

The time between 28 and 30 can be the best 15 years of a woman’s life.

LOL! Thanks for the morning laugh :)

My bet is her record sales stats were making her handlers nervous. The trend was not her friend. This is a misguided attempt to goose sales.

The trend is a normal digression after releasing 1989, the definitive album of Swift's career, her musical apex. Still, reputation was no bomb by any measure. It was the best-selling album of 2017 and she supported it playing sold-out football stadiums.

There is no business advantage to this move and Swift is smart enough to know this. She won't gain new fans by this. She'll only alienate current fans, particularly in today's angry political climate.

I don't think she's worried about selling albums or tickets anymore.

She made this endorsement the day after her U.S. tour ended. She has six shows left in Australia and Japan and that'll wrap up "Reputation."

She's almost 29 and has been going non-stop since she was a teenager. She's a multi, multi millionaire. As I mentioned above, she's peaked. You don't get to peak twice. U2 never released another Joshua Tree. Bruce never released another Born in the USA. Swift will never release another 1989. Those moments when you are on top of the world only happen once in an artist's career, if ever.

She's almost 29 and she doesn't have children.

My bet is she's going to retire or at least take a hiatus from show business and settle down and raise a family.

Still, why she chose this point in her career to break her longstanding policy of political privacy is curious. Also curiously, she didn't go full-blown "I'm a proud Democrat! Stop Trump!" She singled out two races in her home state of Tennessee and not once in her statement did she mention the words "Democrat" or "Republican."

One of her former boyfriends said she was the worst lover he’d ever had. He said she was like a mannequin; she just laid there and “was totally not into it.”

She’s actually given away lots of money to good individual causes and is sermingly a very decent person. Why she just can’t shut up and sing I’ll never know.

I am, like, so totally surprised that Taytay would, like, endorse Dems! OMG! /s

Btw, no one should ever apologize for quoting Winston Churchill.

Who gives a flying f**k what Taylor Swift thinks about anything? At least now we can quit pretending that there’s something sweet and wholesome about her. Just another ignorant entertainer with an entirely uninformed opinion.

No, she's not a country singer.

Good point! I’d always thought that Al Gore wanted to be a white Reverend Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson; the dumbass just couldn’t hack divinity school.

What a shame! Her sales must be tanking as she has ignored her country base for many years now! Leftism is a virus! The one thing left I liked about her was she didn’t get political! That’s a wrap.

Al Gore Junior’s daddy groomed him for the White House since Senior never got there.
